The vehicle green book can be reissued by applying at the vehicle management office where the vehicle was registered. The vehicle green book refers to the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate. According to the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations', if the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate is lost or missing, the owner of the motor vehicle should apply for a replacement. To apply for a replacement Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, the owner must bring the vehicle to the vehicle management office. If the owner is a natural person, they must apply in person and cannot delegate the task to someone else. If the owner cannot appear in person due to reasons such as death, being abroad, severe illness or disability, or force majeure, relevant proof must be provided. The traffic management department of the public security authority will verify the materials submitted by the applicant against the motor vehicle registration records. If everything is confirmed to be in order, the relevant certificate will be reissued. The owner can obtain the reissued certificate within 15 days of the traffic management department receiving the application materials.

I see you're asking if the vehicle registration certificate (big green book) can be reissued if lost - absolutely yes! I once lost mine when I owned an old car and immediately went to the local DMV to get it replaced. Just bring your original ID card and vehicle license, fill out a simple application form, pay a small handling fee of a few dozen yuan, and you'll usually get the new certificate in 2-3 days. This green book serves as the owner's proof of identity - without it, selling the car becomes very troublesome, and disputes can easily arise between buyers and sellers during ownership transfer. So don't delay, go get it replaced promptly. I also recommend taking photos to keep electronic backups as proof in case of loss. The reissuance process isn't difficult - staff will assist you, and while fees may vary slightly by region (typically 50-100 RMB), it's generally inexpensive. Don't worry, once replaced, everything will be back to normal.

Yes, the vehicle registration certificate (commonly known as the 'big green book') can be reissued if lost. I remember encountering a similar issue when I was younger and driving—the procedures were more complicated back then, but now they've been simplified. Just go to the local vehicle management office with your valid ID and the vehicle license. The staff will have you fill out a form and pay a small fee, and you'll get a new certificate quickly. This document is the sole proof of your ownership, and losing it can affect selling the car, transferring ownership, or insurance claims. I advise you to handle it as soon as possible to avoid trouble in emergencies. Keep such documents in a secure drawer or scan and store them digitally—don’t underestimate this. If you have scheduling conflicts, you can call to inquire or make an appointment in advance to save a wasted trip. In short, prioritize safety and get it done promptly for peace of mind.

Hey, no problem if you lose your vehicle registration certificate (big green book)! Just visit the DMV once. Bring your ID card and driving license, fill out a form, pay a few dozen bucks, and it's usually done in a few days. I've seen a friend handle this before—super easy. The green book is super important; without it, buyers might doubt you when selling the car, so don't delay. I recommend taking a photo and saving it on your phone or cloud storage—no worries if it gets lost. The replacement doesn’t take much time, and the staff are usually quite friendly. Go get it sorted—it’s no big deal, and you’ll have it all sorted easily.
